I'm currently in the process of almost pulling the trigger on a Ryzen 2700X build. But unfortunately being a bit of a perfectionist I can't quite lock in the best RAM to complement the CPU. btw I realise this is dangerously close to another thread in this section

The motherboard I'm considering at this stage is the Asus VII Crosshair Hero, which has a 'listed' maximum memory speed of 3600. Now the OCD in me really wants to use all that 3600 headroom.
Looking through PCCG...

I know how to build PCs, but i'm not experienced in researching parts. I only do it once every few years so i lose track of trends very quickly. I haven't bought or built it yet, so feel free to suggest i go a different route. Here's why i've chosen this kit:
1. I'm going AMD because i feel like it for a change
2. I'm going with the 2600X because its gaming performance is per dollar pretty good vs the 2700X and i get to save a fair bit which...

Where do you think RAM prices will go with the AMD releases and the X299 releases from intel?

I have a feeling many people will upgrade to these systems as they are finally proper upgrades from x79 and other late systems running DDR3 memory so people will need to buy new ram.

I expect RAM prices to stay steady or increase with no chance of decreasing.

question is: do i require any kind of special ram? like fast speeds ? considering i only need 24gb i was going to cheap out and not bother...

Now I just got some new (used) DDR3 as well

My dilemma is which kit do I keep, and which do I sell?
System is a 3770k @ 4.4GHz.

Kingston Hyper X Beast 2133 @ 2200 11-12-11-28 1T (1.65v)
2x8GB

OR

Samsung Eco Green 1600 @ 1600 7-8-7-28 1T (1.5v)
4x4GB

I can possibly push both a little further, both passed memtest86 with 1 Pass at least which indicates that's it's almost certainly stable.

So i just been thinking about RAM in all its everlasting glory. 20 years ago, almost to-the-day, i had a friend go to US. Whilst there they grabbed me 4x 1MB EDO DRAM at $AU40 a pop. Pretty good price for the time as that was a time when AUS was around 12months (conservative) behind the rest of the world in regards to, well... pretty much everything

I have an existing Skylake laptop with 2x 16GB DDR-2133.

Would swapping the RAM between the laptops work? And on the new laptop, would it improve or worsen performance (theoretically and real-world)?]]>5QVL DDR4 QuestionTue, 24 Apr 2018 04:40:38 +0000https://forums.overclockers.com.au/threads/qvl-ddr4-question.1243296/
